Want to introduce Dr. Paul to some people who are clueless. Any nominations for the best video for this?

Thx,
Chris

The last few people that have asked me for info in Dr Paul, I've sent them to watch 'What If', and then let them know there are days of vids on YouTube to follow up with.

The great thing about Ron is his consistency so whichever vid they see, they will get essentially the same themes. Just be sure to encourage them to ask you questions, and be ready to answer. Good Luck!

Wow, this video is deceptive. Ron Paul has repeatedly said 9/11 was caused by foreign terrorists who were provoked by U.S. foreign policy. He's not a truther.

Anyone else think truthers are an evil government conspiracy to try to kill Ron Paul's chances of becoming president? :rolleyes:

I remember that Cracked.com didn't like it. They failed to actually look into it and see that unlike the other ads they attack, this was not made by Ron Paul's Campaign, but rather a member on this forum.
http://www.cracked.com/article_18729_8-hilariously-failed-attempts-to-use-cgi-in-political-ads_p2.html

"CG is really handy for cases where the thing you want to show is too expensive, or dangerous, or doesn't exist - like dinosaurs, explosions, spaceships, other planets, or alien robots. Or Ron Paul.

Possibly one aim of this ad was to make people believe Ron Paul was so much in demand that he didn't have time to appear in an ad.

I don't think anyone bought it.

So I threw this around the old workplace and we came up with two possibilities why Ron Paul "needed" to be Polar Expressorized for this ad. Theory one was that you can't put the real Ron Paul underwater.

Which is very valid. Ron Paul is well-known to be water soluble. But this is evading the question of why Ron Paul needs to be underwater in the first place. The ad has a narrative that involves flood waters receding from America in general, but I can't think of any reason why Ron Paul needs to actually be in that water. He's not doing anything about it, he's just standing in it.

The other theory about the necessity of a CG Ron Paul is regarding the final shot. In a spin-out shot, they show him speaking to a large crowd that has gathered to see him, and damn if they were going to be able to pull that off without special effects.

I myself would have gone about it by saying, "Let's get you on the greenscreen, Ron, and we'll bring in a digital crowd," but I congratulate these guys for thinking out of the box and doing it the other way around. "Let's get footage of a real crowd cheering at nobody and we'll build a fake Ron Paul there."

On the contrary, it's the people whom labeled them "truthers" to begin with are the people trying to hurt Ron Paul's chances. I hate the term, because there's TONS of evidence proving 9/11 was staged, yet we name-call people for telling the truth. Despite it containing the word "truth", it's apparent that it's used as an insult. That's like saying "AHAHA You said 1+1=2. You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Let's make a negative term to classify you as we do with anyone whom actually tells the truth in this country"

Here is a link of them but some of these are not on that link. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?273809-Absolutely-BEST-Videos-To-Promote-Ron-Paul-2012-Run!

My post (at the end of the link) has A New Hope, Stop Dreaming, Don't Tread on Me, and Secret Crowds. It is a medley of favorites, but I forgot some of those posted above.

I would go with one of the ones mentioned already.. but if they have an issue they have expressed interest in, focus on that. And then let them expand into other issues.
